Regarding the songs on 'Former Lives' Gibbard says "These songs span eight years, three relationships, living in two different places, drinking then not drinking... They're a side story, not a new chapter."

'Teardrop Windows' is a tribute to Seattle's oldest skyscraper - the Smith Tower - a 38 storey building in Pioneer Square that was completed in 1914.

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Eric Sneo!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Eric Sneo & Chris The Voice - 'Shut Up & Dance' (Eric Sneo's Night On Fire Mix)

Germany's Eric Schnecko aka Eric Sneo has just released a new EP called 'Shut Up & Dance' today! The title track first appeared on Sneo's latest album called 'Polarity' which was released in March on the Mudra Audio label. The new three track EP features the original version as well as remixes from Pleasurekraft and Sneo himself. The EP is released on the 1605 Music Therapy label and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/shut-up-and-dance/958172

'Shut Up & Dance' is about losing yourself in the music and forgetting about what kind of day you had - or what anyone thinks while you do so - as the 'Moderator Of Comfort' Chris The Voice advises. It's Sneo's own remix that's the standout here - he kicks up the energy level of original several notches to an irresistible level... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Booka Shade!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Booka Shade - 'Tomorrow Belongs To Us' (Club Mix)

Berlin duo Booka Shade have just released a new EP called 'Honeyslave'! The four track EP features two versions of the title track and two versions of 'Tomorrow Belongs To Us', and is released on the Los Angeles label Dim Mak Records. It's available now on both itunes and Beatport (once again just half the price on itunes).

The original versions of both songs first appeared in June on a compilation called 'All Gone Ibiza 2012' mixed by Pete Tong and Booka Shade - but the two new remixes are exclusive to this new EP released this week. I particularly like the old school 'French Kiss' style swagger and drifting vocoder bits in this 'Club Mix' of the b-side 'Tomorrow Belongs To Us'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Boris Brejcha!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Boris Brejcha - 'Der Mensch wird zur Maschine' (Original Mix)

Germany's Boris Brejcha has just released a new EP called ' Der Mensch wird zur Maschine' - or 'Humans Become Machines'! The four track EP features two versions of the title track, a song called 'Distortion Is Nothing', and one called 'Caloplaca'. It's released on the Harthouse label and it's available on both itunes and Beatport (half the price on itunes).

So if humans become machines, are we to root for the humans or the robots? And are they even battling each other, or is this process the inevitable peaceful synthesis of man and technology? To find the answers we'll just have to listen closely to what the machines are trying to tell us - I think I can hear their cries for help... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Muse!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Muse - 'Madness'

Muse have just released their latest single called 'Madness'! 'Madness' is the second official single from their forthcoming sixth studio album called 'The 2nd Law' which is released on October 1st (U.K. & Europe)/ 2nd (North America) on their own Helium 3 label.

The album features thirteen tracks and will be available on a plethora of formats including on cd, a cd plus dvd combo, double vinyl, download, and a boxed set that includes the cd, dvd and vinyl as well as three posters which can all be pre-ordered here: http://smarturl.it/the2ndlaw

                       

'Madness' (available on itunes now) follows the first single 'Survival' which was the official song of the London 2012 Summer Olympics. Now I must be honest here - I have mixed feelings on Muse - sometimes I like them, and sometimes I despise them. In fact I loathed 'Survival' as it was a perfect example of what I don't like about them - how bombastic and over the top they can be at times.

However, despite the song's title 'Madness' keeps their pompousness in check and is a genuinely great song in the vein of bands like U2 and some of Queen's later material. It's also quite electronic musically speaking, featuring some catchy vocal effects and a dubstep influenced sound... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Bonus Track! Gary Beck! Size 9!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Bonus Track! Gary Beck - 'Before The Crash' (Original Mix)/ Size 9 - 'I'm Ready' (Remix Version)

Glasgow's Gary Beck has just released a new EP called 'Before The Crash'! The two track EP features the original mix of the title track and a song called 'Hopkin'. It's released on Soma Records and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport:
http://www.beatport.com/#release/before-the-crash/953031

                   

'Before The Crash' is a hypnotic joyride featuring layers of mesmerising sustained synths that will soon be sending signals to your brain luring you to dance... Enjoy!



Bonus Track! Now I'm not sure if this is the source or not, but the female vocal sample in 'Before The Crash' reminds me of the vocal bits from Size 9's techno/ house classic 'I'm Ready'.

Size 9 is an alias of Philadelphia's Josh Wink who released this massive club hit in 1995 on his own Ovum Recordings label, which he founded with King Britt in '94. This is the 'Remix Version' in it's full unedited (nearly) twelve minutes of glory... Enjoy!

Every track on 'Bastard' is solid, but I shall begin at the beginning with the title track which features trippy vocals and plenty of spacey keyboards... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Concert News! Orbital!

SummersRadio™ Concert News! Orbital - 'Stringy Acid/ Chime' (live in Brussels)

British electronic/ techno legends Orbital are coming to Vancouver next month! The Hartnoll Brothers - Phil and Paul - are touring North America for their first time since 2001 in support of their newest album 'Wonky', which was released in April. The duo are performing at The Vogue Theatre on Wednesday September 26th - tickets are on sale now here: http://unionevents.com/shows/view/3335/orbital

You can check out some of our previous Orbital posts including the video for the first official single from 'Wonky' - 'New France' m'here: http://summersradio.blogspot.ca/2012/03/summersradio-new-music-new-video.html, the video for another track from 'Wonky' called 'Never' m'here: http://summersradio.blogspot.ca/2011/10/summersradio-new-music-free-download_28.html and others by clicking the Orbital tag below.

I generally steer away from unofficial live videos as they're often quite craptacular quality wise - but this one is pretty good - and it gives you a nice sneak peak at some of the visuals and lighting for the tour as well. This clip features the songs 'Stringy Acid' from their latest album, along with their very first single - the 1990 classic 'Chime'. It was recorded at a concert in April at the Ancienne Belgique, Brussels... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Classic! Ivy!

SummersRadio™ Classic! Ivy - 'Edge Of The Ocean' (Duotone Mix)/ 'Distant Lights'

Yesterday's post from Erika Spring reminded me of this classic song from Ivy - as both singers have a similar soothing sweetness in their voices. It's also an unusually hot summer day here in Vancouver for August, so I find thoughts of a cool ocean breeze comforting today - and as an added bit of synchronicity I noticed that both ladies only feature a portion of their faces on the cover art!

Ivy is an indie pop/ electronic trio from New York City featuring vocalist Dominique Durand. 'Edge Of The Ocean' was a single from their third album called 'Long Distance' which was released in the summer of 2001 on the Vancouver based Nettwerk label. Some songs just sound like summer - and this is certainly one of them - this is the 'Duotone Mix' from the 'Edge Of The Ocean' EP... Enjoy!



Bonus Track! Ivy released their sixth album called 'After Hours' last summer featuring this first single 'Distant Lights'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Hollen!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Hollen - 'Doraemon' (Tony Dee Remix)/ 'Right Way' (Original Mix)
IIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii/***************************9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999163+
6++8

Firstly, allow me to explain the bit above - for the past year I've been taking care of a friend's cat - and today is her birthday - Happy 19th Nico! She likes to hang out on the desk sometimes and although I try and keep her off of the keyboard she tends to do what she wants anyway (as cats will do). So she typed that bit above and since it's her birthday I'm leaving it in there! Cheers Nico - thanks for your contribution!

Aniello Federico aka Hollen is a dj/ producer from Naples, Italy who's just released a new EP called 'Doraemon'! The three track EP features the original mix of the title track as well as a remix from Tony Dee, and a song called 'Right Way'. It's released on the Agile Encodings label and it's available on both itunes and Beatport - it's cheaper on itunes - $3.87 vs $5.97 (Cdn) :)

Let's start with the 'Tony Dee Remix' of the title track - what's particularly cool about this one are the trippy spoken word vocals. I've listened to it several times and I haven't been able to make out much more beyond something about dripping taps and nature! That's the beauty of it though - the more you listen to it the more there is to discover... Enjoy!



'Right Way' is the third song on the EP and while I'll only post edited versions if that's all that's available, I generally use a minimum of three minutes as the rule - and although this is a bit shorter I still think you get a good feel of the song here.

Like 'Doraemon', 'Right Way' features ominous vocals and a nice keyboard bit that sounds like a full on air invasion... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Maxime Dangles!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Maxime Dangles - 'Golden Gate' (Original Mix)/ 'Sun E' (Tempelhof Remix)

France's Maxime Dangles has just released a new EP called 'Sun E/ Golden Gate'! It was a mere two months ago that I was blown away by Dangles 'Hold Up' EP (which you can revisit here: http://summersradio.blogspot.ca/2012/06/summersradio-new-music-maxime-dangles.html) and now his vibrant sounds and amazing production are dazzling my mind yet again!

The new EP features three tracks - the original mixes of the two title tracks - and the 'Tempelhof Remix' of 'Sun E'. It's released on Italy's Hell Yeah Recordings label and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/sun-e-golden-gate/951233

Let's begin with 'Golden Gate' - I love the label's description of this one: "Hidden kick drums thud below soft bell patterns, panpipes, trumpets and more percussion and the whole thing is on a constant upward arc in tiny repeated loops. At the top, a blistered acid synth right from the future sprays in like a light sabre. Its a dramatic, epic track with plenty of genuine musicality at its core." Like all legendary electronic songs it's quite the hypnotic sonic adventure... Enjoy!



Now deciding which version of 'Sun E' to post has proven difficult as they're two quite different takes yet equally alluring. The 'Original Mix' is a hypnotic techno/ funk workout while the 'Tempelhof Remix' builds a nice downtempo groove that comes alive (moreso) with acoustic guitar and handclaps about two minutes in. I'll go with the slightly more chilled of the two for now, but trust me they're both fantastic - I'm buying the full EP!

This is the 'Tempelhof Remix' of 'Sun E'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Rare Remixes! Blur! New Order!

SummersRadio™ Rare Remixes! Blur - 'Song 2' (Kevin Miller Remix) (includes free download)/ New Order - 'Love Vigilantes' (Extended Mix)/ The Specials - 'Friday Night Saturday Morning'

I wish I was in London today! Not for the full on hoopla of the closing of the Olympic Games - just for the free concert in Hyde Park! The concert featured the same theme as the closing ceremonies - 'The Best Of British' - and was headlined by Blur, featuring special guests New Order and The Specials. While we wait for the reviews to come in so we know what we've missed, let's enjoy a couple rare remixes - one from Blur and one from New Order.

                               

'Song 2' was first released as the second single from Blur's fifth (self titled) album in 1997. The song has been remixed countless times since - this version was remixed last summer by Swiss dj/ producer Kevin Miller. If it's to your liking you can download a copy for free courtesy of Kevin Miller by clicking the download icon below... Enjoy!



This is a rare remix of one of my favorite New Order songs - 'Love Vigilantes' - from their 'Low-Life' album. This is the rare (slightly) 'Extended Mix'... Enjoy!



Bonus Track! 'Friday Night Saturday Morning' is a song I reckon everyone can relate to - who doesn't have an all nighter now and then? Sometimes every weekend :) 'Friday Night Saturday Morning' was originally released as one of the b-side tracks to their number one hit from 1981 'Ghost Town'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Download! Paul Banks!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Download! Paul Banks - 'The Base'/ Interpol - 'Not Even Jail'

Paul Banks - lead singer and guitarist for Interpol - has just released a new solo single online! 'The Base' is the first single from his forthcoming second solo album simply titled 'Banks'. 'Banks' is the follow up to his 2009 solo debut (released under the alias Julian Plenti) called 'Julian Plenti Is... Skyscraper'. His new album (sensibly released under his own name) will feature ten tracks and is released on October 22nd on Matador Records.

'The Base' ranks up there with some of Interpol's finest songs - although it has a noticeably different feel from their material - even his vocals sound different at times. The song features several tempo changes and it has an epic, almost progressive rock vibe to it - in a good way!

If this song is to your liking it's available as a free download from Matador's official website here: http://www.matadorrecords.com/matablog/2012/08/06/coming-october-23-the-new-paul-banks-album-banks/ (simply click on 'The Base' in red type)

Enjoy...!



Bonus Track! Today seems like an apt time to feature one of my favorite Interpol songs - 'Not Even Jail' is my favorite track from their 2004 album (it so should have been a single!) 'Antics' - and is one of the band's most driving, energetic tunes from their entire catalogue... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Beacon!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Beacon - 'Feeling's Gone'

Beacon are an electronic duo from Brooklyn consisting of Thomas Mullarney III and Jacob Gossett - who've just released a new song online called 'Feelings Gone'! 'Feeling's Gone' is a track on the band's forthcoming second EP called 'For Now', that will feature five tracks and will be released on the Ghostly International label on October 2nd. You can keep up with news on the band on Facebook here: http://www.facebook.com/beaconband

'Feeling's Gone' is a wonderful electronic journey that seemed an epic eight or nine minutes long when I first listened to it - but it's surprisingly just over three minutes long. It's a definite credit to the song that it's able to transport you so far away in such a short time. A song that opens with the lines 'Feeling's Gone' isn't likely to be an upbeat tune lyrically speaking (and that's fine anyway - depth is good) but at the same time the music is so dreamy that it whisks you away happily.

'Feeling's Gone' also features a synth bassline that's reminiscent of Orbital's classic 'Halcyon + On + On' (which you can revisit m'here: http://summersradio.blogspot.ca/2010/12/summersradio-classic-orbital.html) and includes numerous tempo changes and tidal waves of sound that all add to it's perceived length.

Like yesterday's post from Chrome Sparks, Beacon's 'Feeling's Gone' is a great song to get lost in... Enjoy!

'Body Fall' features four original tracks and it's released on Richie Hawtin's Minus label. It's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/body-fall/937948

The title track features pleasantly throbbing bass and mysterious subtle keyboards in the background - that you must play suitably loud to appreciate. The song chugs along with rhythmic hi-hats and before you know it you'll be hypnotized by the groove... Enjoy!

Munich's Lutzenkirchen have just released the latest EP in their Platform B series! Each EP features a new Lutzenkirchen track - as well as new tracks from other up and coming artists.

The EP is currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/number-20/948765

The first track 'HIGHer' features some cool low level bass and a trippy breakdown around 3:45 in - suitable for celebrating 4:20 - anytime of day :)

Enjoy...!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Bonus Track! The Presets! Split Enz!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Bonus Track! The Presets - 'Ghosts'/ 'Split Enz 'Six Months In A Leaky Boat'

The Presets have just released their latest single called 'Ghosts'! 'Ghosts' is the second single (following 'Youth In Trouble') from their forthcoming third album 'Pacifica' which is released September 7th on Modular Recordings.

'Ghosts' is very different from 'Youth In Trouble' - as it's much more laid back affair. I definitely prefer 'Youth...' about 100 times over at this point - but I'm not going to write this one off just yet as they haven't made a proper video (and they do make good ones) and I reckon some remixes could certainly save this one. It sounds a bit like a song one might sing on a boat - so it may go over well with pirates :)

Enjoy... !



Bonus Track! The new Presets single reminded me of a classic seafaring summer tune from another band from downunder - although from New Zealand rather than Australia.

Split Enz released 'Six Months In A Leaky Boat' as the second single from their album 'Time And Tide' way back in 1982. I like this video version of the song as it also includes the brief instrumental tune 'Pioneer' (which preceded the song and segued into it on the album) as it's intro... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Jason Lytle!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Jason Lytle - 'Dept. Of Disappearance'/ Grandaddy - 'He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's The Pilot'

Jason Lytle has just released a new song online called 'Dept. Of Disappearance'! When I first heard that Lytle had reformed Grandaddy for a number of mostly European festival shows this summer, I was a bit confused - as it was he who broke up the band in 2006. It also seemed like he was due for a follow up to his debut solo album - 2009's 'Yours Truly, The Commuter'. What was my most favorite indie rock singer/ songwriter thinking - how much longer would I have to wait for a follow up album now - and why did he reform Grandaddy?

                   

It turns out that the Grandaddy reformation started as just a one off show in San Francisco, but once word got out about this other festival offers naturally started pouring in. So beginning next week Grandaddy play four shows in California followed by a month of dates in Europe. Here's the full itinerary if you're lucky enough to live close by one of the shows - if I had the money I'd drive down to California and go to all four - and then fly to London for the last one!

Wednesday, August 8th in Big Sur, California USA @ Henry Miller Library
Saturday August 11th in San Francisco, California USA @ Outside Lands
Sunday, August 12th in San Francisco, California USA @ The Independent
Monday, August 13th in Los Angeles, California USA @ Fonda Theatre
Friday, August 17th in Hasselt, Belgium @ Pukkelpop
Saturday, August 18th in Trondheim, Norway @ Pstereo
Wednesday, August 22nd in Malmo, Sweden @ Malmo Festival
Friday, August 24th in Zurich, Switzerland @ Zurich OpenAir Festival
Saturday, August 25th in Pully, Switzerland @ For Noise Festival
Sunday, August 26th in Paris, France @ Rock En Seine
Wednesday, August 29th in Manchester, UK @ Ritz
Thursday, August 30th in Glasgow, Scotland @ ABC
Friday, August 31st in Stradbally, Ireland @ Electric Picnic
Sunday, September 2nd in Salsbury, UK @ End of the Road Festival
Tuesday, September 4th in London, UK @ Shepherd’s Bush Empire

In a recent interview with MTV's Hive Lytle had this to say regarding the possibility of recording new Grandaddy material: "You know what? I have all these songs that I work on over the years. Things come and go and I do definitely sock stuff away. Just mental notes to self, like, “Yeah, man this reminds me of something that could be considered a Grandaddy song.” There’s some stuff, and I think primarily, the more introspective things, I think is more what I consider my own stuff. I’ve actually amassed enough stuff …I’ve been fantasizing about the idea of making another Grandaddy record and making something that I’m going to make sound like a Grandaddy record. Guilty pleasure, kitchen-sink stuff."

Even better than this great news is that we don't have to wait long for his second solo album - as 'Dept. Of Disappearance' will be released on October 16th on the ANTI- label - and he's just released the title track online this week!

'Dept. Of Disappearance' combines a number of Lytle's common themes - escaping, feeling lost, and of course the beauty of nature. The lyrics set the mood in the first half of the song, allowing you to drift along to the music and perhaps imagine what it might be like to plan your own disappearance in the second half... Enjoy!



Bonus Track! Since Grandaddy is touring this month it's only fitting to feature one of their finest songs today as well. I believe 'He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's The Pilot' from their 2000 release 'The Sophtware Slump' to be one of the most stunning epic album opening tracks ever recorded... Enjoy!

The EP features five tracks including a cover of 80's female duo Strawberry Switchblade's 'Trees And Flowers'. 'End Of Daze' (like both of their full length albums) was produced by Richard Gottehrer - who's great body of work includes producing the debut albums for two of my all time favorite bands - Blondie and The Go-Go's!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Marc DePulse! Patrick Chardronnet!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Marc DePulse - 'Lessons In Dub' (Patrick Chardronnet Remix)

German dj/ producer Marcel Sterling aka Marc DePulse has just released a new remix EP called 'Lessons In Dub Part 3 (The Remixes)'! 'Lessons In Dub Part 1' (four tracks) and '...Part 2' (six tracks) were released last December and this April respectively - and together they comprise his full length debut album. The new EP released this week features all new remixes of six of the album's original tracks and it's released on the Ostwind Records label.

                   

'Lessons In Dub Part 3 (The Remixes)' is available on both itunes and Beatport - much cheaper on itunes ($5.94 vs. $11.94) - but it says 'clean' on itunes so I'm not sure yet if they're actually edited or not. All six remixes are solid but it's fellow German Patrick Chardronnet's remix of the title track that's the clear standout.

This remix has great layers of sound - it begins here on one hand as what seems to be (at first) a rather straightforward house track - then you hear something about a crash landing - and you'll soon discover that it also has a hypnotic sustained vocal underbelly. Then an even more hypnotic bassline kicks in and you're whisked along through a magical buffet of sounds - and just when you think this remix couldn't get any better, it heads into acid techno territory! Amazing.

This is the 'Patrick Chardronnet Remix' of Marc Depulse's 'Lessons In Dub'... Enjoy!
